Izzy & Finn's Hound Boutique

This weather is great for product testing. @thewhippetbeasts still haven’t forgiven me for dragging them out in the rain! 😂🙈 I’m just waiting for some of my suppliers to come back after the holidays so I can finalise the colours for these and then I’ll be adding them to the website :) If you subscribe to the newsletter I’ll be sending out an email when they go live too incase you miss any social media posts http://eepurl.com/gOludn

Remember the Dino nuggets I made for the whippet beasts? I also scaled down the pattern and made Jenson one stuffed with catnip (I also made some for his arch nemesis Stanley and his brother, shh don’t tell him) He’s very much enjoying killing his Dino nug 😀

Happy Monday! Time for a weekly round up! I have 25 Christmas orders left to complete with a total of 35 items and everything is planned in to be completed and ready for shipping by the end of the week In the last week I’ve made, photographed, packed and posted 34 orders with over 60 items no wonder my eyes are 😵‍💫 The lights on my sewing machine died yesterday so I’m waiting on a delivery of new ones. It doesn’t mean that production has stopped it just means I’m having to use my phone torch for some extra light instead 😂 There’s still a few toys and lick mats left on the website. Lick mats and Audrey avocado toy are on buy one get one free too (no code required). If you’re also needing a last minute Christmas gift there are gift vouchers available on the website too

Weekly Roundup Time! There were also some @richardskipworth collars and Christmas coats that went out but I didn’t get time to take photos of those Busy busy busy! 🧵

You’ve been loving the weekly round ups so I’ll keep them coming! Just to prove I haven’t been snoozing this week whilst the website has been closed 😂 I’m taking orders for 2024 now but I’ve removed the festive items temporarily so there’s no confusion, they’ll be back on the website after Christmas 🎄 Stock items can still be posted out as normal. If there’s anything you wanted to add to an existing order (like the new toys) you can order via the website and choose collection at the checkout. Please let me know your existing order number and I’ll add it to that and you won’t be charged double postage :)

It’s been a crazy week of sewing! My claw hand had a strop after I finished the 30 fleece coats for Daybreaks Trust and has been a bit achey so I’ve upped my glucosamine intake 😀 I’ve also made a lot of Richard Skipworth collar and lead orders but didn’t snap pics of those before they left for their new homes We’ve been on the @leicestershirewhippetwalks monthly walk this morning and then it will be back in the sewing room and time for my first mince pie of the year!

Time for a weekly round up! Remember that the website will close on Friday 17th for orders for this year, less than a week to go! 🎄

Happy Friday! I am out of the office today, I’m at the hospital to check if my brain is all tickety boo 🧠 You can tell the weathers changed with all the snuggly coats and jammies that are making their way out. As well as these I’ve also prepped another 17 waterproof coats ready for sewing and the 39 fleece coats for Daybreaks are all cut out ✂️ I’m not sure what today will involve or how long I’ll be there so I’m just writing off the whole today as a non-working day and I’ll sew tomorrow instead 🪡🧵

It’s been a while since I’ve posted a weekly round up Almost everything as I also made a prototype for a waterproof onesie too ☔️ Not too shabby for only one and a half hands 😀 The website is closed this week but will be back open for orders on Monday 30th October

It’s terrible weather outside but perfect for a day of sewing! I love this Autumn Spice fleece 🍁🍂🎃 I had the ultrasound scan on my hand on Monday and I’m waiting on a follow up to discuss the results but at the time the consultant did say that he saw that the tendons were frayed and swollen. He said that they should knit back together so I’m guessing when I see the hand specialist they’ll just tell me to rest it 🤷‍♀️

All being well, by the end of this week I will be able to add these adaptation listings to the website for fleece tankies and jammies They will be separate listings that need to be added to your order alongside the jammies or tankies that you would like the adaptations to be added to I’ll put a post up once they are live on the website :)

The second of the easy access prototype adaptations for fleece tankies Velcro fastening along the side seams These will be added to the website shortly as separate listings that would need to be added to your basket alongside your clothing order* Further information will be in the listing description *for new orders only

I’ve been prototyping this weekend for easy access adaptations for fleece jammies and tankies First up….. a zip along the back This option would be available for both fleece jammies and tankies (with the exception of Dino and Christmas/pumpkin versions) These will be added to the website shortly as separate listings that would need to be added to your basket alongside your clothing order* Further information will be in the listing description *for new orders only
